Experiments that Ingrid has recently performed at the kitchen table:

  • Dip a biscuit in water
  • Dip a piece of potato in water
  • Eat water with a spoon
  • Eat water with a fork
  • Eat water with a knife
  • Stab the table with a fork
  • Eat carrots by spearing them on a (not particularly pointy) table knife
  • Slap her palm with a fork
  • Poke her thigh with a fork
  • Scratch herself behind the ear with a fork
  • Squeeze her eyes shut while chewing
  • Balance her glass on her face after drinking from it

I have to say I am amazed by her imagination.

(The only activities that got a negative reaction were stabbing the table, and balancing the glass, because – not surprisingly – the glass fell off her face and onto the floor. I’m all for experimentation but not if it is more likely than not to permanently damage things.)
